Hi, Janet! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am so excited that you are planning a vacation at my favorite place on Earth- Walt Disney World Resort!
MagicBands are convenient for so many reasons! A quick scan from Disney PhotoPass photographers will magically send your images to your My Disney Experience account and you can quickly scan your MagicBand to redeem your
FastPass+ reservations without digging through pockets or purses to find your ticket! If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you will receive a complimentary MagicBand as it acts as your room key, whether you purchase your Disney Theme Park tickets directly through Disney or through a third party. When staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can also link a credit card to your room and then you can make room charges by scanning your MagicBand. If you happen to be staying elsewhere, you can still purchase a MagicBand either ahead of time online, or right in a Disney Theme Park, Disney Resort hotel or Disney Springs. In order to be able to use the MagicBand, it will have to b
e linked to your My Disney Experience account, so I would recommend an advanced purchase, if possible.
Happy planning and please come and visit us again soon!
Jen
